You'd think their working there would have been their bare minimum, and they did not offer condolences, My question to them was if "my mother, who passed, had wanted to be cremated and her ashes mixed with my brothers and then to be buried on top of her baby daughter. They straight up said No, we can't bury anyone with a baby." understanding I left not even a goodbye, or I'm sorry, not good social skills from these two.

I didn't have an appointment or call ahead and instead, walked right in when I unexpectedly needed a mortuary service. Bill met us at the door and after I explained the situation he welcomed us into his office and said he needed to make a quick call so he could accommodate us as a walk in. Moments later he joined us in his office and walked us through our options very calmly and showed deep empathy all the way through. Bill was knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and personable. The pricing was reasonable and at no time did I feel like I was being taken advantage of financially due to the vulnerable circumstances I found myself in. The death certificate and remains were ready within 3 business days which was greatly appreciated. This is the best mortuary my husband and I have both experienced and we made sure to express such to Bill as well. Thank you so much, Bill and Alta Vista you were extremely helpful and kind during a tough time.

I realize that's a bit odd, but I wanted her friends in both areas to be able to say goodbye. Struve and Laporte worked with the Sunnyvale Funeral director and we scheduled both viewings on consecutive days. The logistics were a bit challenging, but they really came thru for us. The chapel was beautiful and very comforting. They chose the perfect music and had the chapel set up in a way to be Covid conscious. I am very grateful to them for all of their help.

***Yelp Challenge 2016 19/100***…read more The customer service here is great. I met with the owner of this mortuary home and he helped me from start to finish. Before my dad passed, he mentioned that he prepaid for his cremation. I never asked him for details because I thought he was superman and would live forever. On November 24th my world was crushed. The cops who were sent to my dads house to do a welfare check found my dad in his home. He had been deceased for awhile. I live in Las Vegas and so as soon as I got there, I knew my dad would be there. The funeral home owner told me of the different options and he even helped me sort out the issue with Trident Society. They didn't cover anything by the way. It's a huge ripoff. ANYWAYS... He gave me all the options and was super professional and compassionate about everything. He made the time to talk to me and set everything up for my dads service. My dad was an army veteran and Mr. Woodyard handled all of those arrangements. If you live in that town, you guys have a great guy to assist with your loved one. Thank you Mr. Woodyard.

Wow! What a relief to have found Bermudez Family Funeral Director. My mother-in-law passed away…read morerecently and like everyone else who loses a loved one unexpectedly, your whole world is suddenly turned topsy-turvy. In the midst of our grief and confusion, I contacted Bermudez, upon the recommendation of the staff at Monterey Community Hospital. A very sweet and sincere woman named JoAnn answered my call, as well as the many questions that I had. JoAnn continued to assist me throughout the process and is continuing to help today, with the obituary. She truly is a "rock star" and she's the right person for the job. Thanks JoAnn! I met with Nick, who is the funeral director and business owner. Nick was very professional, caring, open and honest. He honored my family's wishes and at no time was there any pressure to do anything other than what we asked for and there was absolutely no attempt whatsoever at "upselling" Nick too was sincere, genuine and caring. I really saw and felt the value of a "mom and pop operation". The small size of Bermudez felt very personal and nothing at all like a "corporate" institution. My family was well taken care of and respected. Nick and JoAnn helped make the very best of a very difficult situation. I myself have been a paramedic for almost 40 years, so I have a lot of professional and personal experience in dealing with people during difficult and sensitive times. Bermudez Funeral Home "gets it" and I very highly recommend them. Thank you again Bermudez, for taking such good care of us!
